AFS Fundraiser Support
This blog is just for people who want to help me in reaching my goal to study abroad with AFS (high school exchange program)in reaching my dream to study in the Netherlands.Any donation to help with my dream is appreciated.
Dear friends,
My name is Christopher Palmiotto and I'm a high school student looking to study abroad. In a couple of months I will be leaving for the Netherlands with one of the most respected high school exchange programs called AFS. I would like to go abroad with AFS because I have always wanted to experience life outside of America. This is the only way I know of that I will be able to experience a different culture and lifestyle. If I go I will commit myself to a full year of community service when I come back from the Netherlands. That is a promise to any one that donates to me. If I do not I will repay everybody that has donated to me,my promise. From this experience I wish to gain knowledge of a different lifestyle and learn all the customs of the Dutch people. I would like to be part of their daily life and compare and contrast it to the American lifestyle. I am very excited to go and hope to teach my host family about America. I have always wanted to speak Dutch and learn about a different culture by being part of it. I am writing to you because I still need a lot more money to make my dream come true. My parents cannot afford to send me to the Netherlands on their own and that is why I need help financing my AFS experience. I don't come from a wealthy family and believe it or not I have never even set foot on a plane before. I have been working very hard in raising the money and ended up getting two jobs. I have sent many corporate sponsor letters out and even had a bake sale in my school. I know for a fact that I will not have the money in time. So I am asking all of you if you would make a secure non-tax deductible donation even if it is a small amount just to help me reach my goal.
